   Summary

   In the aftermath of finding out Simon can lay eggs, Grace and Simon decide to try and start a family. Of course, there is a lot left to figure out and understand. Grace is more than willing to rise to challenge. Simon is just happy that Grace doesn't think he's a complete monster.

   AKA

   A direct continuation of the other fic I wrote called "You need, I want."
   I recommended you read that first or you will be a bit confused.
